Gocha. I thought I had read that you had a Pixel.

Why did you choose Lineage over Graphene?

We all had to taste it in Army BCT.

That works for my wife. The 2 second dog has also nullified our use of the 5 second rule.

That's where my bedside table gun would migrate to.

I play FF XIV on a gaming laptop with a n onboard Nvidia GPU. The only thing I had to install was the game, and the Flatpak, Proton, and XIV Launcher communities have made that trivial.

I use Debian stable.

My first wife cheated on me.

I'm now about to celebrate 10 years with my 2nd wife.

What ever happened to "state's rights"?

I guess that was just a convenient excuse to keep people as slaves, huh? 🤷

if something has compromised my sudoer account they have root anyway

So instead of making the thief break a window, you would rather just leave the door open?

I figured out that it just drops you into a root shell, which is a bad thing.

You should try to never login as root. It's just bad security hygiene.

I run sudo apt update, put in my password, thenonce my repos are updated, I run sudo apt upgrade. Password only has to be input once, unless I get busy and forget to do the upgrade command, in which case I haven't left a root shell unattended for however long it took me to realize that I left the shell open.

That way if someone else comes along and tries to do stuff, they only have the limited privilege level that my user does.

Why use the - i?

I just sudo [command].

I think the more people who aren't using corporate operating systems, the better.

I'm firmly against Microsoft, Red Hat, and Ubuntu.
